More than a quarter of participants in the group living near the turbines said they had been medically diagnosed with depression or anxiety since the wind farm started. None of the participants in the group further away reported such problems. Each person was also asked if they had been prescribed sleeping pills. More than a quarter of those living near the wind farm said they had. Less than a tenth of those living further away had been prescribed sleeping pills.

Now, it's not that I'm against wind power per se, but given that it kills large charismatic birds, bats, costs far more than any form of conventional energy, and now, causes sleep deprivation, anxiety and depression among nearby humans, maybe we should rethink any plans to make wind power a form that we rely on,
